Abandoned glass bottles were no longer treated as waste and began to be perceived as dirt and a manifestation of extreme negligence. What’s more, the so-called monkeys and beer bottles won the disgust ranking even with cigarette butts (59 percent).
During the pre-spring and thaw, 46 percent of respondents declare that they often encounter glass waste (e.g. bottles). The answer is very often given in large and large cities: 25 per cent compared to 14 per cent in the countryside. The gender difference is also clear – almost every fourth woman (23 per cent) and one in seven men (14 per cent) indicate very often.
The irritation caused by abandoned alcohol bottles increases with age. It affects 55 percent of people in the 18-45 group and as many as 65 percent in the 46+ group. Differences can also be seen between types of towns: the lowest result applies to medium-sized cities of 20-99 thousand (52 per cent), and the higher to villages (62 per cent) and the largest cities of 500 thousand+ (63 per cent).
This means that for almost two-thirds of the inhabitants of Warsaw, Krakow or Wrocław (63 per cent), regardless of generation, glass on pavements, lawns and bus stops is a daily routine during the early spring.

I just saw a few backing home a while a go and I don’t get it. If a homeless take them to the supermarket, they can get some beer for free. It’s super weird for me that they are not gathering like it happens in other countries with the same system implemented in Poland this year.
They could buy food too but I’m sure they are more interested on buying beer than food.
True, my neighbourhood is full with them, it is at the same level as dog poo. Sometimes I collect them but few days later it is the same. These bottles should be returnable, then they would collect them.
The deposit system won’t do shit. If they want to solve the problem – ban hard liquor in bottles smaller than half a litre. Those small bottles are purely for satisfying alcohol cravings anywhere, anytime and effectively encouraging drinking
for me it’s still dog poop, sorry
Dog owners should pay 30% higher taxes.
Nothing makes me lose faith in this country more than seeing trash when I go for a peaceful walk.

At least it’s glass not plastic
Need to give the drunk slobs incentive to return these –
Nie kurwa nie sÄ….
Nie boję się, że wdepnę w małpkę. Kurwa wszystko zasrane, strach przejść po trawniku z dzieciakiem
A po zmroku loteria kurwa
OMG that’s like the fifth article I see mentioning that after unusually harsh winter there was rubbish found after the snow melted. Get a life.
It’s not only that. I just visited my parents in Poland and around where they live you can still find remains of fireworks packaging etc in every bush – of course combined with broken glass everywhere. 3.5 months after new year.
